I got three bids for an ac unit, all using the same unit. One was for
$4,100 and one was for $6,100 and one was for $7500.
Which one should I take? I'm so confused, and as a consumer, I'm so stupid
I shouldn't have a driver's license.
I guess I had better take the highest bid as that will insure I get the best
job, right? Will the most expensive bubba have the biggest and best butt
crack? Will I be expected to perform any other sexual favors other than
bending over to pay the bill?
Any help would be better than being clueless.
Any hvac people out there?
What explains the big difference in price other than the people have a
different image of themselves and a different idea of just how stupid they
KNOW I am?

This is a new install at the cabin? The "unit" may be the same, but how
about the ancillary system components like the air handler, ducting,
etc.? Those components could account for a decent chunk of the
difference.

All three bids for the same site. Done from the blueprints and partially
framed house.

Go with the cheapest, this will insure that you'll have a system that will
*not* maintain your comfort.
If one can do it for $2 grand less, ask yourself...
Why can he do it so cheaply?
Materials and installation is MONEY.
It takes materials to do a job CORRECTLY.
It takes longer to install things PROPERLY.
You can do it right or you can do it twice.
Twice isn't the cheapest route.

Alternatively, the guy who charges $2,000 more can more freely engage in his
profilgate lifestyle, secure in the knowledge that he has abused yet another
non-"professional."
